United States pillows

Oh. My. Goodness. I adore these hand-embroidered United States pillows, which feature cities, states, countries, regions and national parks. Aren't they fantastic? Which would you get? Where are you from?

Definitely Vermont. And maybe Ski Vermont. I lived there when I was young although I can't reasonably say I'm from there since we moved so much. It's just the place where a huge piece of my heart will always be.

So fun! I'm from NJ, but my region of the state isn't really represented on the pillow. Probably because Warren County (in the northwest quadrant of the state) is really nothing but a bunch of farms. :-P

i've recently had an obsession with state pride. I started making city/state greeting cards and I sell them in my etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/orianakz. So, I'm all about the MN pillow. made in mn, thanks for the tip, I'm going to check them out in Edina.

these have been around a quite a long time now. i love them too. i got a san francisco one about 10 years ago, now it is in my twin boys room! and even though i now live in belgium it reminds me of home every day :)

I love these! I have seen them in stores and haven't gotten one yet! until now I have lived in dorms and have been too nervous to get nice bedding and pillows. Now that I have graduated definitely going to get one from California, I am from San Jose. www.fablifeincalifornia.blogspot.com

When I went to Yosemite awhile back they had dish towels exactly like this. I bought one, broke up with my boyfriend at the time when we got back from the trip, and couldn't bare to put the dishtowel out. Now that you post this I just may go hunt for it The towel is darling the ex boyfriend not so much : )

I'm from Illinois, but I'd love to get a pillow from every state my husband and I vacation to (we take a roadtrip vacation each summer, and so far we could have collected South Dakota, Wisconsin and Missouri). If only they were a bit less expensive, because they are darling. :)

Abigail, as a public school teacher, $149 for a pillow is out the realm of possibility. If you can afford to spend that kind of money on luxury items, I am so happy for you! Please go buy a few! I'll be buying groceries, if that's ok with you?

This whole line is great! My former boss gave me a Texas and San Antonio as a going away gift. I recently relocated to Nashville, TN. These are the perfect way to remember your previous home state/city!

These are lovely but I prefer the actual vintage ones. They used to make pillows like these with embroidery, prints on silk, and even velvet painted ones. I got a vintage one in Alaska and was told that they were originally made for soldiers to pick up at their different locations to ship home to their families instead of postcards.

I've had my eye on these for a bit now & love them! Since I'm married to the military and we move every few years, I hope to get one for each state we've lived in (OK, SC, DE, FL...the list gets longer every couple of years!).

Love these but wish they just sold the patterns. I'd love to stitch one. Their website says it takes an artisan up to a week to make one, so at $150 a piece the person is probably making $2 an hour, if that.

I actually won one of these on a Young House Love giveaway and I absolutely love it! I chose the San Francisco pillow because it's where I spent 5 amazing years. I'm very overprotective of the pillow. guests and my dogs can't get too close ;)

love these! i got really lucky a couple years ago and found the oregon pillow at a thrift store in texas for $4! i took it home and it continually makes me happy on the couch to think of the breezy, beautiful pacific northwest here in the hot south.

I absolutely love these ridiculously kitschy state embroidered throw pillows. I have been all about getting a CA or a Utah one. Maybe VA will say it's for lovers! ;p Cute!xo-Brookehttp://stylespook.blogspot.com/

I love these pillows! When we moved from Atlanta my girlfriends went in together and got me the Atlanta one! Then, my girlfriends from my new state went in together and got me one from here because they thought I should be equally represented! I LOVE them because of all they represent (home, friends and love!).

Love these! My husband and I have the new Hampshire one which features the college we went to and everyone always compliments it! We also have some frosted glasses from this shop with the same print. The quality of this stuff is great!

OMG! My mom must be so on the it list, she got me two of these pillows for christmas last year and I ADORE Them! One for Kansas (where I'm from) and one from New York (where my bf is from and where we live!) Great post!

I absolutely love these and have for a long time! I plan on splurging on a New Hampshire one the minute I make enough money to validate a handmade pillow purchase. :D I'd love to get a Maryland one, too, for my roommate. That way, we'd represent our home states proudly!

Adore!!!! I would have to get two...Montana and Glacier National Park. Fifth generation born and raised right outside the beautiful Big Sky Country. I left 10 years ago and moved to California for the big city life. All of my family and most of my wonderful childhood friends still live there. I really might have to get these pillows to place on my couch for an everyday reminder.
